Imagine hiking through a remote region in South America. The sun is

setting over a snow-capped mountain and all around you guanacos are

calmly chewing on grass. Nowadays, there are very few places of unspoilt

wilderness on Earth – but with a thick coat and a sturdy pair of walking

boots, Patagonia is one of them! This region is at the southern end of

South America and covers around 400,000 square miles. Two thirds is in

Argentina in the east and one third is in Chile in the west. It’s an area with a

variety of landscapes – the perfect destination for adventure seekers!

A good place to start your adventure is in Argentina’s Lake District in the

north. This area borders the Andes mountain range, and it has recently

become very popular with foreign tourists. You can stay in the beautiful

city of Bariloche and sample Patagonian cuisine. Got a sweet tooth?

Well, the city is also famous for its chocolate shops!

Make sure to take a trip to Nahuel Huapi National Park to explore

thick forests, tall waterfalls and extinct volcanoes. It’s ideal for

extreme sports such as mountain biking, kayaking and canoeing.

Next, you shouldn’t miss the Valdes Peninsula on the Atlantic

coastline in the east. This UNESCO Natural World

Heritage Site hosts a wide variety of sea animals such

as sea lions, elephant seals and orcas. You can even

take a boat to go whale watching! It’s an amazing

experience to get up close to these gentle

Does strolling along cobbled streets in one of the

greenest cities in Europe sound attractive? Then you

should go to Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia. With a

population of just over 250,000, it’s a city full of history

and culture.

There are a lot of things to see in Ljubljana. Take a

funicular to the top of Ljubljana Castle and enjoy amazing

views. Visit the City Museum of Ljubljana and learn about

Ljubljana’s history.

You can’t be bored in this lively city. If shopping is

your thing, head for Cop Street, a pedestrian street with

designer label shops and trendy cafés. Don’t miss a visit

to Tivoli Park, a colourful park that contains a zoo.

Ljubljana is the hidden gem of Europe. With its

marvellous architecture and relaxing greenery, you’ll feel

like you’re stepping into a fairy tale!

the perfect holiday?

said, “To travel is to live.”

Adjectives/Order of adjectives

Adjectives describe nouns.

Opinion adjectives show what someone thinks of

someone or something (boring, interesting, etc.)

When there are two or more adjectives in a sentence,

they usually go in the following order:

Fjords are long narrow stretches of water that reach far

inland from the sea. These inlets are very deep and usually

have steep cliffs or mountains along their sides. The waters

in fjords are so deep that they are home to fascinating

cold-water coral reefs.

Fjords were made by glaciers. Glaciers are huge masses of

ice that form during an ice age. These heavy frozen rivers of

very slow-moving ice make deep U-shaped valleys in the

land as they flow out to the sea and melt. The sea water

then fills the valleys to make fjords, which are much deeper

than the sea outside.

Norway is famous for fjords, with around 1,200 of them. In

fact, the word ‘fjord’ is a Norwegian word which basically

means a place on the water where you can cross over to the

other side. However, you can find fjords all over the world,

including New Zealand, Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Chile.

Most people like to go on cruises

in warmer regions such as around

the Caribbean or Mediterranean

Seas, but one of the most popular

cruise destinations in the world is

in freezing Alaska! Around a

million people take an Alaskan

cruise each year! Alaskan cruises

allow passengers to see

spectacular scenery! Most cruises

travel along the Inside Passage –

a 15,000-mile route which passes

countless islands, bays and fjords.

Passengers can see amazing

wildlife from the grizzly bear to

the moose, and they can also

learn about the indigenous

people who live here. It’s an

unforgettable experience!

What comes to mind when you think of New Zealand? Maybe you

think of the kiwi – New Zealand’s famous flightless bird – or perhaps

the country’s successful rugby team – the All Blacks! Well, something

else that people associate with New Zealand is ‘Middle-earth’! This is

the fantasy world that J.R.R. Tolkien created in his novels – and which

Peter Jackson created in both ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’

film series! Jackson is a film director who comes from New Zealand

and he decided to make all six ‘Middle-earth’ films in his home

country!

The films were a huge success and won countless awards – and they

also made New Zealand into the world’s leading destination for film

tourism! The stunning shots of mountains, volcanoes and waterfalls

inspired millions to visit the country, and now around 8 per cent of

tourists say that Jackson’s films were the main reason why they chose

New Zealand!

Jackson used over 150 locations in New Zealand for the films, so

there are many places for visitors to see! For example, many tourists

visit the snowy mountain peaks in the Queenstown region in the

South Island. Another attraction is an area of rolling green hills just

outside Matamata in the North Island. It used to be just farmland, but

now it’s Hobbiton – the village where the Hobbits live in the films!

Each day, around 2,000 visitors visit Hobbiton to walk around the

fantasy village.

Of course, New Zealand isn’t just one large film set! It’s also a

great place for outdoor activities and extreme sports, plus

the locals are very hospitable. But for fans of the films, it’s

a unique experience to step into Middle-earth. Afterwards

you even have proof of your visit! Nowadays, whenever

anyone arrives in New Zealand from abroad, they

get a ‘Welcome to Middle-earth’ stamp in their

passports!
